He also dug up an older Bosch barrel grip Jigsaw, brand new, which I
drooled on and had to buy. Big ol' motor, cast shoe. The variable
speed and toolless bit change were new to me (on a Bosch) even though
the Milwaukee Topgrip had those features, and I liked that saw a lot
too, but glad to have a Bosch barrel grip again. When a design works,
don't change.

I didn't see that one coming. *I figured you had the Festool jigsaw.
I've had a couple or three Bosch jigsaws over the years, and I liked
them, but I love the Festool. *The cut is truer to square than the
Bosch or DW jigsaws I've used, the dust collection is superior, and
the splinter guards work great.

Resistance is futile.

I just wasn't going to drop that kind of coin for just casual hobby
work. If I want to cut anything ultra accurate or scroll-type work, I
still have my CNC. This jigsaw won't see much work other than a
serious bathroom renovation which is due to start in a week or so. I
bought 4 sheets of 36 x 48 x 1/4" Corian to use as shower stall and a
sheet of 30 x 144 x 1/2 to make the window sill and a countertop, all
matching in colour. Dunno what to do with the floor yet, and *I* never
knew one could drop a grand on a crapper.... which I refused to do. I
have enough projects (bar and built-in entertainment centre for the
family room, wrap-around veranda for the front of the house, including
sun-filtering pergolas (yay CNC) and a 2-1/2 car garage.)
